Airbnb has crossed my mind - just not 100% sure if the ROI is there.

Quote from @Cross Colgrove: UPDATE: I brought a partner in on the deal, who was able to get conventional financing.

Cross border tax compliance isn't something I say is DIY-able.

But, you can tell them the cross streets, and 1,250sf, 3/2 ,etc, general info, and ask their opinion of that current market, what they think it would be worth in remodeled condition, if they see the market slowing or going down at the moment, if inventory is stable, rising or shrinking, how long days on market are now and is it taking longer to sell in this market, etc.

Something like this crossed my mind once for a brief moment.

However, once they cross the line like calling and yelling at you, I would do the following (some points already made above):- Serve 48 hour notice of inspection and entry- In the notice, I generally include some kind of notification that you are allowed to enter with notice by law and that if any attempt is made to prevent entry, a trip charge will assessed to the tenant ledger and the following trip will be made with a law officer and section 8 representative (may not be possible, but as mentioned above, section 8 tenants can lose their privileges).- Perform the inspection, and make your notes.- Send a demand letter to remedy (in AZ they have 10 days) - in your case, remove extra occupants, terminate smoking in the house and clean walls, you will re-inspect on such and such a date- I would bill them for the cleaning if they do not do it, to their ledger and not wait on the deposit.

The building is a corner lot with one side facing a major through street and the other a less busy cross street.Water, sewer and garbage paid by Landlord.

I suppose I never expected it to happen because I try to dot all my I's and cross all my T's.  

Cross out the portion you want to change, and hand write the desired words?
